Van held onto Tai’s hand, leaning really she could barely hold herself up; but she it was a mutual thing in here mind.
She was dressed up in her best suit: a white button up with only a few stains in it and black pants. Not the best wedding attire.
That’s right. Wedding. After all these years she found her way back. Taissa Turner. Even if it’s just for a week. A week to live a lie, to hold the wilderness that is one another, in the palm of one’s hand once more, away from the judgmental eyes.
She didn’t care if it was real Tai or her, all she knows is, even if it’s just for a split scene in her life. She had Taissa Turner, the love of her life. The one that in every life time, in every universe would find some irrevocably, unconceivable way to find her.
So they made their way to the justice building, she was hesitant to ask Tai how she got all the right licenses and certificates but she was too, too tired. She finally admitted to herself she was tired. And she needed this.
Vans heart beats rapidly against her chest as she makes her way up the steps, so fast she was sure it would break through.
Tai holds the door open for her, staring longingly; as if she wanted to take a bite out of the red head. They joined hands once more, Tai leading the way.
It was all a blur to Van, as if she was just fast forwarding an old VHS tape, just skipping through the scenes. Until she gets to the most important part.
She had found herself in a room a man in a suit stands next to the two of them. Tia held both her hands now, standing in front of her, brown eyes wide staring at her as hard as she did the first time they met. Her mind wanders back to those memories, the early memories of them, when things were good; as the judge read off something unimportant opposed to her girl. Her Tiassa Turner.
“Now, if you would like to exchange vows?” The judge says looking between the two woman. Tia grips Vans hands harder, clearing her throat; “Vanessa Palmer,” Van cringes at the sound of her whole name, like she’s getting in trouble at schools again. “I’ll never forget the first time I laid my eyes on you, 9th grade Bio class. You were getting into an argument with Jesse Nears who was the better character on some show I couldn’t care less about;” Van smiles at the distinct memory, feigning offense to what her brown-eyed girl had said about her favorite tv show.
“But, all I could think was. Wow, that is one beautiful girl. With hair like fire and eyes like the forest; And that’s all I’ve ever thought since then. I know I’ve made some mistakes.” Tai’s eyes glass over with the glaze of tears, she was right she hurt Van, so much.
Her voice cracks when she tries to speak again, clearing her throat her voice small as whistle. “But I promise, nothing and no one will harm you ever again. Even me.” Her voice trails off her vows ended and Van knows she’s expected to say her piece now. She was worried that when it was her turn she would black out, or worse nothing would come out. Turns out what they said was true at least for her; once you start you can’t stop.
“I have loved you from the very moment I met you, every single part of you, parts. It’s been hard, being without you.” Van chokes up clutching onto Tai who looks into her very soul. Her voice cracks when she speaks up.
“But you’re here now and every step I get closer to death but I’m glad because at least I’m taking them with you. Taissa Turner you are the only woman I have ever truly loved.”
And with that the officiate reads the rest of the marriage contract finally getting to the big moment were he says:
“I may pronounce you, Mrs. And Mrs. Turner-Palmer.”
The sweaty, bald man smiled happily watching the two woman kiss; or more like Tai devouring Van’s face.
Unapologetically Van kisses her back, they’ve had to hide for far too long.
